I'm taking a second look at it, and a third and forth ect... etc...

Yes, that is correct.

Quiet correct, except that  you do not take into consideration that
since the birth of Christ the world is under a new covenant, and the
old covenant ( the one in effect B.C. while still a good general
guideline is not literally God's Law.

While I recognize that these philosophies may have something to
contribute to understanding human morality and nature, and did the
pagan Greek's, I do not recognize them as religions.  The only
authority a Christian can recognize is the authority of God.  If that
offends the current *multiculturist* (sp?) sensibilities of the
majority of people today, so be it.

Nay, I would say!  I am a Jeffersonian to the core (sorry if you're
not familiar with the Jeffersonian philosophy, but a quick study on
Jefferson would do everybody a lot of good).  While I recognize that
there are moral absolutes, something the moral subjectivests, and
moral relitivists today reject (which is why we have such high rates
of all kinds of crime and immorality), I also recognize the fact that
*is* their choice.  I also recognize that there has to be some kind of
basic  fundamental foundation for law (The Ten Commandments are the
foundation for most western law, especially English Common Law), for
any civilization to exist.  Again, though, I am a hard core
Jeffersonian, and the core of Jeffersonian thought was what he called
a patchwork of cultures.  A confederation of states, each with it's
own individual culture, and free to be as it thought proper.  I
currently reside in Mississippi, and say the laws in one of the
surrounding states (Tenn., Ala., Ark., or La.) were based upon pagan
or even satanic beliefs.  Despite the fact that I believe their
culture, their law  to be sinful, and wrong, I would in no way attempt
to force them to conform to the laws of my State (that is of course
unless they attempted to force me to comply with their culture/law.).
So, perhaps you now have a better understanding of my position.
Regardless, it's way past time for me to hit the hay.  So perhaps if
you're interested we can continue the conversation at a later date.

You're Obd't Servant,

No one is  forcing..........those who are forced to God have no Belief
in God, they just comply to avoid oppression.
